A Thread Complete with Questions for MJ

[Deeraw]

Hey all, if this type of thread is frowned upon by the admins, feel free to delete it.

I am currently in the middle of rereading TMF (the pages are covered in notes and annotations) and am a frequent lurker here in the forums. I always find that MJ's posts in the threads are filled with really good points as well as wisdom and experience, and was just wondering if it would be possible to have a thread dedicated with questions toward MJ himself.

I don't mean pointless questions like, 'MJ should I drop out?!' and 'MJ what do you think of business idea xyz?'.

I mean thought-provoking questions for him that go beyond that. A few of mine are...

1. Have you ever felt that there was a time where maybe entrepreneurship wasn't for you?
2. How did you overcome it?
3. Who were your role models as you traveled your entrepreneurial journey? Was it solely the man you met when you saw your first Lamborghini at such a young age?
4. What does your mother say, now that you are where you are today? (I bet she doesn't tell you to get a job anymore )

I'm sure I will have plenty more in time. I'm interested to observe the questions that everybody has and his responses as well, and believe we can all take something away from his life experiences.
